August 8, 2018Our Friends at the Catholic Climate Movement have been preparing all sorts of guides and events to celebrate the Season of Creation, an annual celebration of prayer and action to protect creation. It is celebrated by Christians of all traditions around the world. The season begins September 1, the Day of Prayer for Creation and runs through October 4, the Feast of St. Francis. The theme of this year’s celebration is “walking together.”

​The 2018 theme will focus on the current situation of indigenous territories, the root causes of migration, trans-border movement and displacement, with a specific focus on indigenous peoples living in urban areas and across international borders. The observance will explore the challenges and ways forward to revitalize indigenous peoples’ identities and encourage the protection of their rights in or outside their traditional territories.The observance of the International Day will take place on Thursday 9 August 2018 from 3:00 pm to 6:00 pm in the ECOSOC Chamber at the United Nations Headquarters in New York.
